Gun violence with Children

Gun violence with Children

 

 I choose violence I focus on gun violence the effect in has children .My experience with gun violence is the effect it was my students when the parents shot or killed by gun violence.  My student are withdrawal and some have posttraumatic when the here a loud bang they drop to the floor or the hold to me real tight. The effect of gun violence negative short- and long-term psychological effects, including anger, withdrawal, posttraumatic stress, and desensitization to violence .Gun violence is the number I killed of black children.  Between the year of 1963 to 2010 60,000 black children and teenage.  

 

 I really did not found any information of gun violence on children. Around the world I just found information of the school massacre in Dun lane 1996 were 16 children between ages of five and six were killed.  From the massacre the gun laws in London   are tighter.

Child development and public health



I choose the  maternal mortality. I pick this topic because my cousin all most die give birth to fifth child. She develop  preeclampsia during pregnancy and had the baby early. I pick this topic I wanted to know more information  about maternal mortality. 

I also pick this topic because at work yesterday I saw a powerful video by Merck on the campaign to end maternal mortality in developing country .

In United States 12,7 death per 100.000 live birth.

In the developing country  estimated  "287,000 maternal deaths occurred worldwide in 2010.
This means that each day about 800 women die worldwide because of complications related to pregnancy and childbirth. Developing countries account for 99 per cent of the deaths. Two regions, Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, accounted for 85 per cent of global maternal deaths"( childinfo )
The Sub-Saharan Africa have the highest rate of maternal  death  and South Asia have the second 
highest rate of maternal death. ( childinfo)

The goal is to end maternal mortality in the next decade.  Merck have a website  called Merck  for mothers. Also Merck have committed  10 millions dollars to India  for the next  three years  to reduce maternal mortality.  The company that I work  Maternity Care Coalition for  have received  a grant for ten  to do study on  pregnant  women in the city of Philadelphia  from Merck. I am looking forward to more research  on maternal mortality.

Birth experience

I do not have any birth experience. I will be talking about my birth I was born on January 8 1973 on Monday at 9:44 pm. I weight 8 pound and 11ounce 21 inch long. According to my mother she craved water during her pregnancy and she had night sickness.  My mother said I was born nine after her birthday that is April 7. I choose this example because it was only one I had. I think childbirth is important for child development and if the child is premature born there are some delays in child development.

 I choose Japan. I learned that all pregnant women in Japan are married. The women stop working once they become pregnant. The Japanese women are required by the Maternal Child Health Act to register their pregnancies with the local government.  The only similarities is that genetic screening test they do amniocentesis. The different is the Japanese women see their fetus as inherently a work in progress or perfectible and   United States idea having normal and abnormal fetus. I learn that pregnancy in Japan is very important to women health.  I think that Untied States should adopt system like Japan to help with women health.
